I am too old at almost 55 to do much physical labor, but jobs CAN be created if Washington would just have the political will to do so.
Job creation should have been the FIRST priority of Obama's when he was inaugurated. He has lost precious capital frittering away his mandate on stalled health care "reform" and bailing out the Wall Street crooks who created this mess we have.
